Physiological determinants of endurance capacity in individuals with cerebral palsy: a narrative review

OBJECTIVE: To synthesize evidence on the physiological determinants of endurance capacity in individuals with cerebral palsy. DESIGN: Narrative review. SUBJECTS/PATIENTS: Children and adults with cerebral palsy across the spectrum of motor function (Gross Motor Function Classific...

Percutaneous peripheral nerve stimulation as an ancillary treatment following nerve repair surgery

Abstract Background Neuropathic pain after peripheral nerve injury severely degrades quality of life. Peripheral nerve stimulation (PN‐Stim) is cleared by the U.S, Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of acute and chronic pain. This broad indication supports its potenti...

Comparison of Visual Feedback Conditions While Learning a Redundant Novel Visuomotor Task

Human movement relies on coordinating multiple degrees of freedom (DOFs) converging onto fewer DOFs of functional goals. We compared two forms of visual feedback as participants learned a novel motor task: using 18-DOF finger movements to control a 3-joint kinematic chain, ultima...

A compact, wireless fluorimeter system for continuous, real-time monitoring of tissue perfusion via in vivo fluorescence signals

In vivo fluorescence signals provide physiological and pathological insights for the interpretation of biological states associated with anatomical abnormalities or disease. Conventional methods for measuring fluorescence signals rely on bulky, costly instrumentation for imaging...

Beyond Survival: Outpatient Treatment for Functional Recovery After Brain Injury

Abstract Acquired brain injuries (ABIs), including hypoxic-ischemic and traumatic injuries, are leading causes of long-term disability in children. While acute treatment has advanced, many survivors face persistent cognitive, emotional, and physical challenges that require coordi...

Patients' perceptions of diet and exercise interventions for knee osteoarthritis and barriers to optimal treatment

BACKGROUND: Changing diet and exercise behaviors are first-line lifestyle interventions to treat knee osteoarthritis (OA), but many patients fail to adhere to recommended guidelines. OBJECTIVE: To determine the perceptions, trends and barriers related to healthy diet and exercise...

Reconceptualizing Cerebral Palsy as a Lifelong Condition Characterized by Systemic and Accelerated Biological Decline

Cerebral palsy (CP), the most common childhood-onset disability worldwide, affects an estimated 50 million individuals globally. Although most individuals with CP are adults, CP education and training remain heavily concentrated within pediatric subspecialties, contributing to su...

Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS)

Importance Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is a chronic autonomic disorder characterized by excessive orthostatic tachycardia and multisystem symptoms that affects an estimated 0.1% to 1% of the US population. POTS can substantially impair daily functioning and q...

The future of high-dose, high-intensity neurorehabilitation: Consensus-based core recommendations from the fourth Stroke Recovery and Rehabilitation Roundtable

Objective: Convergent evidence indicates that high-dose, high-intensity rehabilitation (HDHI) improves outcomes beyond usual care after stroke, yet implementation remains limited. While questions of optimal dose, timing, and delivery format continue to be refined, the biological...
